Grizzly Rage (2007)

Photobucket

    A group of 20 year olds that just graduated High School head off for a weekend of camping, debauchery, and stupidity.  After breaking into a restricted land preserve they go off-roading on the strangely well marked and paved system of roads.  That is until they manage to hit a tree and poke a hole in their radiator.  While trying to figure out what to do one of them finds the stuffed child’s toy, oops I mean bear cub that they unknowingly hit in the road and killed.  Of course you know when there is a bear cub there is always a mama bear, and she is pissed off.  So this crewmember wearing gloves, oh wait I mean the bear attacks the kids and kills them off one by one, but not nearly fast enough for my tastes.   

    This is a terrible movie that no one should be forced to watch ever!  The characters are all terribly annoying and will have you rooting for the bear before it even shows up.  The story is boring, recycled, and just stupid.   The script is full of plot holes, like why does it take so long for the grizzly to show up and attack?  What is up with the cabin full of bear traps?  And if you want to tell me the cabin is abandoned then why is the lawn mowed?  Oh god and the dialogue sounds as if a teenager wrote it.  For a good 30 minutes ever line is ended with “Bro”.   

    As bad as the story and acting in the movie are the technical aspects of the film are worse.  This movie has one of the worst soundtracks that I’ve ever heard.  The music is loud, intrusive, and doesn’t fit the scene at all.  It feels like the director or producer had a friend with a band and just threw their tunes into the movie as a favor.  There aren’t any special effects in this movie.  You have actors covered in red paste, and digital blood splatter that looks like it is hitting the glass on the inside of you TV.  Completely lame and poorly executed.  Oh and if you hate shaky camera work that is used to cover up poorly executed action sequences then you will want to throw something at the TV if you have the misfortune of watching this one.   Grizzly Rage is a complete waste of time.  This movie is a god-awful mess that should be avoided at all costs.  I received this one as a free review copy and I feel ripped off!
